Chapter 94: Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!!
Seeing Boros in such a crazed state, King decided to show him a deliberate opening.
Amidst their relentless exchange of blows, King's body suddenly stumbled, creating a slight opening.
Boros's eyes narrowed, and he threw a punch without hesitation, aiming straight for King's head.
The destructive energy contained within this punch distorted the space around it; if it landed cleanly, even King in his current Death Gate state would bleed.
In the very next instant, King kicked off with his right leg. Boros's fist grazed past his face, his blonde hair fluttering wildly in the energy waves.
Not good!
If Boros couldn't see through this, he would have lived all those years for nothing.
He had been too obsessed with the battle just now, so he hadn't seen through King's plan for a moment. Now that he had realized it, it was too late.
King closed in, his left hand striking out to the side, slicing the very arm Boros used for the attack in half. He then raised his right fist high.
Emperor Fist!
The Emperor Fist, infused with the Evening Elephant, possessed terrifying impact. When the fist collided head-on with Boros's jaw, his entire skull was nearly flattened, with his chin and forehead almost meeting.
The violent air shockwave surged from bottom to top. Boros completely lost control of his body, sent flying upward by that powerful force.
Crimson blood flickering with electricity splattered. Boros turned his head, and his mangled jaw restored itself in the blink of an eye.
However, this was exactly King's goal.
Ten thousand meters in the sky, Boros had no time to adjust his body before King followed him like a shadow, turning half of his body into a bloody mist with a single punch.
The S-Class Heroes on the ground looked up, their composure beginning to crumble.
What kind of scene was this?!
In the azure sky, a streak of red light seemed to be traversing at extreme speeds. The blood-Aura trails left behind were interlaced into a net across the heavens, with countless air shockwaves and crimson vitality traces reflecting off each other.
With every punch, Boros's body spun rapidly in the air. He tried to dissipate the impact this way, but it looked as if he were being whipped like a spinning top.
Just then.
Boros's expression froze. He seemed to sense something as the pink radiance on his body grew even more intense, and a crisp sound like breaking glass exploded within him.
"What's happening... something inside me seems to have broken..." Although he didn't understand what was going on, his power was growing stronger. Every time his body was shattered, his strength seemed to rise further.
"Could it be?!"
Boros's pupils suddenly constricted. In his years of traversing the Universe, he hadn't remained stagnant; he had collected vast amounts of knowledge.
During the invasion of a certain planet, Boros had learned of a concept called the [limiter].
Legend had it that every race had its own limit. To surpass this limit, one had to attempt to break their own limiter.
The limiter was a genetic shackle, the endpoint for every race. The conditions required to break it remained unknown to this day.
"Have I broken my limiter? No..." Boros's head was blown apart once more. His massive single eye drifted in mid-air, yet its gaze remained fixed on his own body.
He realized that although he had broken one layer of his limiter, there seemed to be an endless stream of shackles within him that needed to be broken slowly, layer by layer.
"Why think so much! I just need to keep fighting! Then I'll understand the reason for all this! Power is merely the key that allows me to continue challenging strong enemies!"
His head regrew, and Boros let out a muffled roar. His fists turned into a sky full of afterimages as he began a fierce exchange of blows with King in mid-air.
King frowned slightly. He could feel that Boros's power had increased further.
Oh? Has this guy also unlocked a layer of his limiter... In fact, beings like King and Boros, who could constantly heal themselves, had a much higher probability of breaking their limiters than others.
After all, when fighting strong enemies, they could rely on their self-healing abilities to hover between life and death countless times, making it easier to grasp the true essence of power.
"But it's a bit late to break through now..." King saw through Boros's nature and shook his head helplessly.
During their mutual exchange of blows, while his power shattered Boros's body, a portion of it naturally coursed through the opponent's entire being.
Because of this, King realized that even if Boros broke his limiter, he was already doomed.
If the Meteoric Burst was like a normal person in anaerobic exercise—where the damage to the body was great but not life-threatening—
Then the current Boros was equivalent to frantically burning his own life force. While increasing his power, his remaining potential had broken through the limiter.
To use a metaphor, Boros was like a constantly burning torch. The soaring flames seemed to grow larger, but once the fuel inside was gone, even the greatest fire would instantly extinguish.
"Truly a man obsessed with battle. Very well, I shall give you the utmost respect."
With that thought, King flashed in front of Boros. His left punch struck out, shattering the arm Boros used to counter, followed by another uppercut from below.
Boros spat out blood, his entire person once again losing control and flying backward and upward.
This time, King did not choose to rush up and continue the beating. Instead, he stood in place, like an old monk in meditation.
The crimson blood-Aura burning on him slowly faded at this moment, but his Aura became increasingly terrifying. The mere leakage of energy was enough to distort space.
Boros also felt something. The corners of his mouth even split open in excitement, his pupils filled with dense blood vessels and the ultimate enjoyment of battle:
"Hahahaha! Come on!"
This cosmic overlord, who had dominated the world, was about to release his final, life-burning strike.
At this moment, both sides came to a strange standstill, remaining motionless in place.
"Thump!"
Accompanied by a heartbeat that seemed to resonate with the planet's vibration, the patterns all over Boros's body turned black, followed by an explosion of brilliant golden light.
"Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon!!!"
